What should a buyer do in case he doesnt have any money for the down payment and for the closing costs?
There are a few mortgage programs that allow the individuals having low or no money to buy a home. But still, you are supposed to deposit funds for the down payment or the closing cost or in some cases both. This is because the lenders expect you to be actively participating in the program, as a substantial amount of your income would go into the mortgage payment. In some circumstances it has been seen that the seller itself bears some of the closing costs (normally ranges between 3%-5%) or the cost of down payment is lowered (up to 5%). But it is very hard to find a case of no down payment at all. Although, having a good credit report and money for the closing costs, enables an individual to benefit in some ways in the area of conventional loan.
